Dont know about what kind of RPM packages you talking about, because i did not see nor official nor unofficial RPMs for RH 8.0, anyway i will try to post some step-by-step instruction how-to build KDE 3.1 from cources under RH 8.0 without to uninstall KDE 3.0.x You need the following source packages: 1) qt-x11-3.1.1 form www.trolltech.com 2) konstrukt from htpp://konsole.kde.org/konstruct/ 3) all kde 3.1 src packages from: http://download.kde.org/ Info: you have to build qt-x11 by yourself and not with konstruct, because konstruct will not build it with anti-aliasing support, and i am sure you want anti-aliasing ;-)) A) Building qt-3.1.1: unpack the qt-3.1.1 src package and move it in /usr/local/qt-3.1.1 You have to patch (by hand) /usr/local/qt-3.1.1/config.tests/x11/xfreetype.test ------------- On line 40, where is: LIBS="Xft Xft2" must be changed to be: LIBS="Xft2" ------------------------------------------------ next: cd /usr/local/qt-3.1.1 #./configure -system-zlib -qt-gif -system-libpng -system-libjpeg -plugin-imgfmt-mng -thread -no-stl -no-exceptions -fast -no-xinerama -prefix /usr/local/qt/ -I/usr/include/Xft2/ -lfontconfig #make As you can see this will compile qt-3.1.1 with Xft2 support and you will be able to do: #make install which will install qt-3.1.1 binaries and libs in /usr/local/qt NOTE: (make install) is optional but if you miss it, then you have to set env. variable QTDIR to point to /usr/local/qt-3.1.1 in next steps: B) Put all kde src packages in some direktory (we assume that this is /usr/local/src/kde31. Dont Unpack THEM, just copy there ! C) Unpack konstrukt: #cd konstruct #export QTDIR=/usr/local/qt (if you did make install in previous step, otherwise set it to: /usr/local/qt-3.1.1) Open with text editor gar.conf.mk , and do the following changes: HAVE_QT_3_1_INSTALLED = true GARCHIVEDIR = /usr/local/src/kde31 NOTE: We will install kde 3.1 in /usr/local, so to be able to start KDE 3.1 or KDE 3.0 (user choice when logs in system). DO NOT SET TO INSTALL IN /usr BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME ERRORS WITH KDM (if u use it, otherwise you can install kde 3.1 in /usr, but before that do: # rpm -e `rpm -qa|grep kde` --nodeps ) prefix ?= /usr/local and the last line in gar.conf.mk shold become: FILE_SITES = file://usr/local/src/kde31 file://$(FILEDIR)/ file://$(GARCHIVEDIR)/ and thats all, now you can do: D)Compile KDE 3.1 with konstruct : #cd meta/kde #make install go take a coffe, tea, beer, sleep ..... on my P III 850 Mhz this step spend about 6 hours. ------------------------------------------- P.S. Almost forgot: After successfull compilation you must do the following to enable start of KDE 3.1 E) You have the following choices: - Do what is said in konstruct/README ( for single user permanent settings to start just KDE 3.1) - Do what i did ( let user choose in KDM): With text editor make the file /usr/X11R6/bin/kde31, in which type ----------------------------------- #!/bin/bash export QTDIR=/usr/local/qt export KDEDIRS=/usr/local export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/qt/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/qt3:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/qt/bin:$PATH exec /usr/local/bin/startkde ----------------------------------- chmod a+x /usr/X11R6/bin/kde31 And the last thing you have to do is to start old KDE 3.0.3 as root ( if you did not start it) or as root to start Control-Center-> System ->Login Manager -> Sessions tab , where you must to add session with name "KDE3.1" На вт, 2003-02-04 в 18:30, Ross Ferson записа: > Hello > > I am running RH8.0 and want KDE 3.1.
